To aZZwhom it may concern.

Be it known that I, AUGUST V. KIRKEBY, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of -West Nutley, county. of Essex, and State. of New vJersey, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter for Ad hesive Sizing, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact-specification.

My composition has for its object to provide an adhesive sizing designed to be em-v ployed in conjunction" with the customary paste by decorators and paperhangers for.

adhering wallpaper, burlap, canvas, lincrusta, and fabrics to the walls interiorly of buildings, or other structures, and which will permit .the decorations to be applied at required intervals. When the mixture has cooled by any desired process a paste is formed and in order to be employed for ad hering' decorations upon a wall one pint of the paste is incorporated in any suitable manner in two and one half gallons of the ordinary flour paste used by decorators and paperhangers. The combined ingredients are then used in the usual way bys'preading a suitable coating of the mixture of sizing and paste upon t e wallpaper, burlap, can- Specification of Letters Patent.
